So what is a heater guard, and do you need one? The answer depends on your tank and fish you keep. To better understand, let's start with what a heater guard does.A heater guard serves two purposes. The first is to prevent the heater from being cracked or broken, either by boisterous fish or by tank décor falling against the heater. Believe it or not, such accidents happen more often than you might think.The other purpose of the heater guard is to keep the heater from coming in direct contact with the aquarium glass, aquarium décor, and the fish.
